But I like to support the friends who host. What do you wear to these things? What did you wear to holiday parties last year? Does it still fit? I tried on the maroon cords I wore to last year's Solstice Party. They don't fit. Ugh. I hate having to replace clothes. Holiday stress and obligations make it easy for negative body image to creep in. It doesn’t matter if it’s a party, a deadline for your job, or seeing family you haven't seen in 12 months, your body goes through stress and attunement disruptors daily.

How do you deal with the winter blahs and cold weather Reader? Winter of 2023, chocolate chip cookies made with coconut oil were my coping strategy.
